The report adds that may change if any injuries occur or unexpected opportunities appear, with the focus on next summer.

It’s been reported Chelsea are targeting a midfield signing next summer, with the Blues looking to ease the workload on Enzo Fernandez and Moises Caicedo.

It’s believed Chelsea could also move for a centre back, but that’s dependent on how Levi Colwill returns from injury, whilst the Blues also have Aaron Anselmino and Mamadou Sarr on their books.

January is always a difficult window to buy in, but it feels like doing nothing could be a risk for Chelsea, but only time will tell.
